Family
The Triple Threat
The sun rose over the pastures, casting a warm glow over the fields and chicken coop. I stood in the kitchen, sipping coffee, mind racing with a million tasks to complete and frantically trying to understand how I will gain the time to do it all. The list never ends, always growing with nothing being accomplished - or so it feels. I am a mom/wife, a full-time worker, and a farmer – a triple threat that leaves me burnt out and completely exhausted.

The Call That Changed Everything
A Story About Time, Regret, and the Power of One Decision The phone rang at exactly 2:47 a.m. Mira woke with a jolt, the sound cutting through the silence like a siren in a storm. The bluish glow from her nightstand phone pulsed against the dark, and for a few seconds, she couldn’t place where she was. The apartment. Her apartment. Alone.

Is Marriage Still Worth It?
When Happily Ever After Meets Harsh Reality They say love conquers all. But does it still conquer time, bills, infidelity, and societal pressure? Is marriage—the ultimate symbol of commitment and devotion—still worth the risk in today’s fast-paced, self-focused world? Or is it an outdated ritual clinging to relevance in a world that’s moved on? These are not just abstract questions. For millions, they’re deeply personal dilemmas. Some dream of white dresses and diamond rings; others flinch at the mere mention of wedding vows. So what’s the truth? And is forever still a goal… or just a fantasy?

What I Learned About Friendship After Losing Everyone I Thought I Needed
I Thought They Were My Forever People I used to believe friendship was permanent. We had matching lockets, group chats that buzzed all night, inside jokes etched into the corners of notebooks, and plans that stretched far into the future. We called each other family. We promised weddings and godparent duties. I clung to that belief as if it were a lifeline—that the people I surrounded myself with in my twenties would be the ones who watched me grow old.

I Didn’t Feel Like a Real Writer Until I Became a Mom. Top Story - June 2025.
Imposter syndrome is a bitch and for a long time, it ran the show. I was writing for a news outlet—getting paid to write—and still didn’t believe I was a “real” writer. The title didn’t matter. The bylines didn’t matter. Something in me still felt like I was faking it. Like I was playing dress-up in someone else’s dream.

The 30 - Second Freeze That Stopped Our Divorce
00:15. My muscles screamed as icy water clawed my skin 45°F. My husband’s eyes burned into my back, resentment radiating like heat. We stood barely touching in the tub, teeth chattering in sync, counting seconds through clenched jaws. Why the hell were we doing this? Because yesterday, I’d found the folder: "Divorce_Finals.pdf." And the only thing colder than this water was the truth: we had 30 seconds left to save us.

people who have nearly no close friends or family to lean on usually display these habits without realizing it
In today’s hyper-connected world, loneliness is a growing epidemic that often goes unnoticed. Not everyone who appears fine on the surface is truly okay inside. Some individuals have little to no emotional support—no close friends to confide in, no family members to rely on. And while they may function "normally" in society, they often display subtle, unconscious habits that point to a deeper lack of connection and support. These behaviors are not always easy to spot—even the people exhibiting them may be unaware.
